Also, as Ardwolf says, you don't have to remove the pad to get the instrument cluster out. Just lower the steering column and you can get the cluster out.

Once you get it out you can clean inside there. Lots of dust and crud from all those years of use.
When I removed my 87's I was glad to see there were no mousie nests in there as there was previous evidence of them chewing wires under the hood and even a dead mouse in the spare tire carrier.

I will try to remove the panel without taking dash off. I read to make it a little easer unscrew the tilt arm to give you more room.
But first i must go boating down the conn. river. It's very hot today. Thanks for all the help. Steve
